SYNOPSIS:

Dar Fur – War for Water is about a mission, that Tomo Križnar, a human
rights activist and (former) Slovenian President Janez Drnovsek's special
emissary in Darfur, made.
While Kriznar presents Slovenian peace initiative to various fractions of
Sudanese Liberation Army, he films on camera very emotional and
priceless talks with main rebel leaders and with civilians. This is the first
film about Darfur, which enables the rest of the World to have an insight
into mentality of the rebels in Darfur and events, that took place there
from February to June 2006. The documentary gives us the answer, why
the peace, which was signed in Abudja in Nigeria between the
Sudanese governement and the only signatory on the other side,
self-proclaimed SLA leader, Minni Minawi, was obviously just o political
charade, which still goes on today.

This documentary tells and shows with strong argumentation, that war
in Darfur is not merely a war of people in Darfur against insignificance of
Sudan and against arabic greed for petroleum and natural resources,
but it is above all - due to climatic changes - war for water.
The richest springs of water are found in Djebel Mara in Darfur, where
the Furs live (Dar Fur means home of the Fur), who are the biggest
victims of this war, indeed.

By showing shocking statements of women, who were raped and with
the shots of military actions and dead people, this documentary points
out that big World politics is to be blamed.
It tells us obout Slovenian president's unsuccessful initiative. He was
stopped by Condolezza Rice's, United States Secretary of State, threatening
letter in which she suggested, that small Slovenia should not
interfere with big politics.

This film narrates about Tomo Kriznar's boldness. In the film he also
offers a solution, which he finds on the peak of Djebel Mara Mountains,
and at foot of this mountains Bin Laden's Al Kaida troops are being
trained.
You will find out what kind of solution he found, when you see the
documentary.

With his very first film, Nuba, the Pure People, which talks about the
genocide of Nubas in Sudan, Tomo Kriznar contributed to engagement
of politics, politicians, activist and common people. It was (among
other) also because of his courage and the film, he shot as an
eye-witness of a genocide, that peace between Sudanese governement
and the rebels was signed.

All the actions are always accompanied with humanitarian fund
raisings.
